Participant Flow

Single dose study only enrolled 20 children in L1 and 20 in C1 to evaluate the safety in the context of DP and LPV/r drug-drug interaction, only one dose of DP was given in the treatment group (L1). None of those children were included in the 5 groups in the 3-dose full study. So this is not a two-period design.

HIV-uninfected Children (C3a)
30 HIV-uninfected children age 3-10 years not on ART will take standard 3 consecutive once-daily oral doses of DP (20/120mg tablets) based on weight per 2015 WHO guidelines for DP. The brand name Duocotexin will be used. PK samples are collected after the 3rd dose. Control group for E3 and L3. Dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine: It is expected that efavirenz (EFV), lopinavir/ritonavir (LPV/r), and/or dolutegravir (DTG) will alter DP exposure.

Z-score is the anthropomorphic indicator of malnutrition measured as weight-for age (WFA). Children will be characterized as a) "stunted" but not underweight \[i.e. weight for age (WFA) z-score\>-2); b) underweight, but not stunted (WFA z-score ≤-2); or c) of normal nutritional status (WFA z-scores \>-1).
